I love the finish on this stone. It reminds me of looking out into a vast and alien world. The transition of color gives depth to ones perception and allows to the imaginings of fluid motion captured. Just beautiful.
Amazing what is under the surface of something most folks won’t give a second glance. Your videos have shown how to look at the world around cause you never know what you might find.
Stunning stone! I love to hear your reactions to the surprises these raw stones give but it is nice to watch the process without words as well. Thank you.
Prachtig!!! dit is de grote onthulling van de schoon van binnen. Deze steen verteld gewoon een heel verhaal, bedankt dat je dit hebt laten zien, verbaasde groet Anna
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! I got excited when I saw the first eye! I tried counting them but I lost count 😂 I don't think I ever saw someone grind the husk away. It's beautiful!
Beautiful Taylor! I would have to hold myself back from also cutting it right through that fracture line and polishing the halves as well, with a rolled edge.
Fascinating transformation. Rather like finding an old glass marble in the dirt. It reminds me of old glass chandelier dangles I found after a house fire, damaged by heat and smoke. Do you have a general criteria for which ones you grind and which ones you cut, or is it just whatever strikes you at the moment?
WOW! I missed you talking and presenting, but I also enjoyed feeling like I was just standing there and watching over your shoulder. Just WOW! And that stone. It turned out to be another universe. Thank you for the journey.
So cool! It's hidden treasure. Can you share where you got your flexible water tubing and show how you attached it? I'd love to get that for my cab king -- seems like it would cut down on water mess!
Before I even start watching this newest video of yours, I just watched your four year anniversary question and answer video. I loved all the questions and loved all your answers, but I am so surprised nobody mentioned your editing of the videos. I know the subject matter is rocks, but people have to know that you just don’t sit down and do a video for 15 minutes or a half an hour and that’s all that has anything to do with it. The editing is amazing on your videos, your humor, your intelligence your knowledge is also beyond entertaining and informative, but I had to mention the editing. It’s just amazing. I just started watching rockhound videos in the last three weeks and I’m hooked. I’ve already gotten a saw and tumbler and ordered some rocks and I live in Florida so I’m gonna hunt some fossilized coral. Anyway great video.. and you’re such a nice guy and maybe people don’t thank you dude editing because you are very natural but I know that editing is very time-consuming. Can’t wait to watch this video. Happy happy.
Oh, wow! Fantastic rock! The eqisite work done.👍I saw the foamy sea waves in it drawn by mother-nature. It is so unique. Thank you for the macro in the end. 👏💗
I was so happy to see you polishing a whole stone….I’ve seen stones with so much beauty showing and wished you would polish instead of cut it….don’t misunderstand, I absolutely love seeing the cut stones. Thank you for sharing
I swear we have some rocks here in Alabama that look almost identical on the outside (before removing the husk of course). I just wish they looked like that underneath lol. I have found plenty of beautiful agates here believe it or not but it's so hard to spot them even in the sun. Most of the ones that ive found have been by pure accident, & im not sure if they are native to this area or if they were brought here from somewhere else since all the ones ive found so far have been shaped by native Americans & used as nutting stones (& decorative ones at that) for cracking acorns, etc. I live in Tuscaloosa which had a large population of native Americans that lived along the black warrior river, which is less than a mile from my house. I also find lots of petrified & agatized wood.
Great reveal! Adore the stone! I just LOVE getting lost in those macro shots! More please!😊❤❤😊 But not the sounds of the Grinding asmr voice asmr grinding sounds too, please? I press mute, but it just feels empty, tho like that
Now you got me to wondering, just how deep on average is that outer layer? I have a tile saw and think I just might try doing something with some stones I have... As long as it is feasible to remove the exterior to see what I have
What a difference it makes taking a layer off! It looks like a beautiful planet! I bet your fingers get really sore! Beautiful polish, though, as always! 😊
Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed seeing this agates transformation!
Hi mate. Travelling Australia soon. Can I cut using an angle grinder diamond tile cutting disc?
Love your videos
❤🎉, I’m wondering if my mini sonic pro I’ve not used yet, would work on polishing them. I have cool bigger specimens of various finds!
How could you know there would be such a beauty before spending all this time and energy?! This is mesmerizing. Thank you. (And the music, ahh ❤)
I always do.
I love the finish on this stone. It reminds me of looking out into a vast and alien world. The transition of color gives depth to ones perception and allows to the imaginings of fluid motion captured. Just beautiful.
Amazing how a not so attractive stone can turn into something so beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😊
Amazing what is under the surface of something most folks won’t give a second glance. Your videos have shown how to look at the world around cause you never know what you might find.
Amazing!!!! I love this lapidary videos of whole rock grinding and shining! These are the best! Amazing work and results
Wow, that was a wonderful transformation. I really enjoyed the delicate circles and lace alpearance
Stunning stone! I love to hear your reactions to the surprises these raw stones give but it is nice to watch the process without words as well. Thank you.
YES! More husk-grinding videos, please! 😁
More to come!
That turned out stunning! Well done
Thanks!
Is every stone can be this beautiful?😮this is soooo beautiful ❤ from just a stone can be transformed beautifully in the right hand🎉
Prachtig!!! dit is de grote onthulling van de schoon van binnen. Deze steen verteld gewoon een heel verhaal, bedankt dat je dit hebt laten zien, verbaasde groet Anna
Absolutely Beautiful!! 🤩
My favorite part was seeing the eyes emerge from under the husk!
Mine too!!!
That had a beautiful ending and a soothing middle.
I had no idea what to expect I’ve never watched a stone be polished but it was so beautiful inside
The polished stone was stunning. I have to admit I skipped to the end. I watched a little but couldn't wait.🤗
I really enjoy ur channel. And the grinding reveal today. Was. Magical. But I miss ur excitement. Ur love for agates. Ur laugh. U. Make a difference😊
It reminds me of looking at a snowy mountain from a distance with the moon and stars in the sky above it.
I love EVERYTHING you post. I love your character. This rock you polished is the most BEAUTIFUL thing ever.
How do you clean the cabkings tiny plastic pieces and tubes? Or do u just replace them?
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! I got excited when I saw the first eye! I tried counting them but I lost count 😂 I don't think I ever saw someone grind the husk away. It's beautiful!

It's Beautiful!
It reminds me of a
planet with water, ice
and dirt/grass.
Loved watching!
🌍🌎🌏
So glad you did this video! On several of the past ones I was wondering how the agates would look if you polished the outsides. Now I know!!
Stunning from start to finish
Thank you! 😊
You so should have put a clip of your happy agate laugh in at the end. Haters are going to hate, but thats what make you, YOU.
Very cool. You did something I do but about 5 months quicker. That is what I get after tumbling an agate for a very long time. Beautiful work.
I was somewhat surprised at how much work went into that polish, but Beautiful!
It looks like a tiny little planet. How wonderful.
What a before and after…beautiful.
WOW! I missed you talking and presenting, but I also enjoyed feeling like I was just standing there and watching over your shoulder. Just WOW!
And that stone. It turned out to be another universe. Thank you for the journey.
I enjoyed the process and love the result. I'd like to see more like this!
Lovely to see the transformation.
So cool! It's hidden treasure. Can you share where you got your flexible water tubing and show how you attached it? I'd love to get that for my cab king -- seems like it would cut down on water mess!
It did turn out otherworldly!
A glorious revelation! Thank you so much! Inside the roughest stone is a thing of beauty. If we look at our fellowman like this we won’t go far wrong.
Wow, that depth. Other worldly in the best way. Thanks so much for sharing your technique and process!
Wow those are absolutely beautiful.
Pretty amazing. I would love to see the size of the stone before you started working on it vs. the size when finished.
You see the raw stone in the beginning and finished at the end, so..... 🤔

What?!?! Unreal. Super beautiful all polished up 😍
Wow! That sure turned out beautiful. Thank you for making this video for us
I was having very rough day, this video was so relaxing and helped me get to a much better mental space! I am so glad I found your videos ❤
I’m glad it helped!
Just wow. What a beautiful transition you rendered! 😮
It's getting shinier!
Oh, wow! Fantastic rock! The eqisite work done.👍I saw the foamy sea waves in it drawn by mother-nature. It is so unique. Thank you for the macro in the end. 👏💗
It's so beautiful. You did a great job. My favorite part is when you took the husk off and I got that see the agate exposed.
You did a FANTASTIC job with it!!
OH MY GOODNESS! WOW!
Thank you, that was a lot of hard work just beautiful
So many shades of blue!💙 Almost as fun as your cutting videos!😊
Not even a little giggle?I know you were chuckling inside😂💖
Unbelievably beautiful!
Wow this is so relaxing.. I love this style of video for your channel
I’ll also more
Amazing rock and a beautiful shine ✨
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
Beautiful stone. How do you know which ones to pick for grinding and polishing the outside rather than cutting in "half"?
I was so happy to see you polishing a whole stone….I’ve seen stones with so much beauty showing and wished you would polish instead of cut it….don’t misunderstand, I absolutely love seeing the cut stones. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing the beautiful stones you have had some amazing agates at the been really phenomenal again thank you for sharing everything❤❤❤
damn! that agate is to die for!
Excellent work, Taylor!
Magnificent!
Thanks great work

Beautiful agate! Amazing polish! Cool video but we love to hear your excitement from the beautiful stones you're working with.
You are a very hardworking person..keep up the good work..I like your collections..Thank you❤
Thank you so much 😊
Great reveal!
Adore the stone!
I just LOVE getting lost in those macro shots!
More please!😊❤❤😊
But not the sounds of the Grinding
asmr voice asmr grinding sounds too, please?
I press mute, but it just feels empty, tho like that
Beautiful 🥰😍
Thank you. 👏
Sending some algorithm love. ❤
Mesmerizing ❤
Now you got me to wondering, just how deep on average is that outer layer? I have a tile saw and think I just might try doing something with some stones I have... As long as it is feasible to remove the exterior to see what I have
Enjoyed watching a rock become a gem! Respects to your thumbs! My hands were aching in sympathy by the end! 😅
😂
This is a super amazing piece
Wow! It's beautiful! 😮
Beautiful…stunning!
What beautiful colors..
What a great idea to polish up the entire nodule! I confer on you the title of Agate Papi!
What drove your decision to polish as a nodule vs cutting? Was it something you saw on the stone?
I just wanted to polish the outside and do something different.
This one was probably a good candidate because it was round. Something with waves or cavities would be much harder to grind smooth.
Wow it’s beautiful!
Those nodules' speak for themselves😁😁
What a difference it makes taking a layer off! It looks like a beautiful planet! I bet your fingers get really sore! Beautiful polish, though, as always! 😊
Beautiful Stone 😍
Aaaamazing agate . So magical
great video
suggestion - put a penlight behind it
Nice video thanks enjoy all of them!
I'm in LOVE
I think this is almost more beautiful than cutting them ❤
Is the first grid with a grinding wheel or sandpaper? What grit?
1st grind I mean
There's like a whirlpool within! 😍
That's beautiful! How did you know it would look that great?❤️🤩🤩
I didn’t!
Nice guess! Did you know it was an actual agate?
So beautiful. What made you polish this one whole instead of cutting it open? Just curious
Amazing. How do you know which agates to be cut open and which ones to just sand and polish ?
Thank you for unveiling this beautiful mystery.....
My pleasure
FANTASTIC!!!
